What is the focus of today's video?
Weight
and
gravitational potential energy
View source
How can gravity be defined?
As a
force
of
attraction
between two objects
View source
What factors determine the size of the gravitational force?
The
mass
of the objects and their
distance
apart
View source
Why is the gravitational force of small objects negligible?
Because they have relatively low
masses
View source
How does distance affect gravitational force for large objects?
Gravitational force
decreases with increased distance
View source
What is the gravitational field around an object called?
Gravitational
field
View source
What symbol represents gravitational field strength?
The letter
g
View source
What is the gravitational field strength on Earth?
Approximately
9.8
newtons
per
kilo
View source
What is the gravitational field strength on the Moon?
Approximately 1.6
newtons
per kilo
View source
What happens when an object enters a gravitational field?
It experiences a
force of attraction
View source
How is an object's weight calculated?
Weight =
mass
×
gravitational field strength
View source
If a person has a mass of 60 kilos, what is their weight on Earth?
588
newtons
View source
Why do we often say we weigh 60 kilos instead of having a mass of 60 kilos?
Because of
differences
in
technical
terms
View source
What is the difference between mass and weight?
Mass is intrinsic; weight is a
force
View source
What is required to lift an object against gravity?
Energy
or
work
View source
What is
gravitational
potential
energy
denoted by?
Ep
View source
What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?
Ep
=
mgh
View source
What units are used for gravitational potential energy?
Joules
View source
How do you convert 100 grams to kilograms?
Divide
by
1000
View source
What is the gravitational potential energy of a 100-gram apple thrown 3 meters up?
94
joules
View source
What are the key takeaways from the video?
Gravity
is a
force
of attraction.
Weight
= mass ×
gravitational field strength
(
9.8 N/kg
on Earth).
Gravitational potential energy
:
Ep
=
mgh
.
